About me

As a therapist, I specialize in serving adult, children, adolescents and families who are dealing with trauma, substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, delinquency, ADHD and other related behavioral health issues. I offer individual therapy and draw from my extensive experience as a social worker in the public sector where I worked with Drug Court, Juvenile Courts and Juvenile Justice Services. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Weber State University, and later a Master degree in Forensic Social Work from the University of Utah.

Charlie has been a great therapist. I feel like he really is a safe space to discuss things with. He makes me feel heard and genuinely cares about the well being of his patients.

Charlie is a good therapist. I’m new to this so I don’t have experience. I do think Charlie is matter of fact, gentle, and thoughtful about anything I bring to the conversation. I think it would be hard to go wrong in having Charlie as your therapist.

Charlie has been such a great support for me as I’ve gone through grad school, academic probation, a faith transition, struggles with friends and family and dealing with everyday anxiety. He is helpful and empowering. He has helped me improve my self talk and coping mechanisms. He is a great listener.

Charlie’s great man. Always had good times open that work really for me. On time and really good at listening. Not just listening though, gives me therapy goals to pursue in the meantime which is pretty huge. Very friendly but knows when to hop right into what’s been bothering me the past week. I haven’t seen to many therapists but he from my point of view he is a great one!

Haven’t had many sessions with Charlie so far, but from the time I have had with him, I know I will enjoy my sessions with him. He has been extremely understanding with what I have told him about and asks questions so I give myself a different perspective. He also has checked in on me regularly which has made me feel more comfortable with my therapy journey.
